The shot of the ship on its side toward the end was a shot of the ocean liner S.S. Normandie, which had caught fire and capsized at its pier in New York. The fire was an accident, not sabotage (a cutting torch set fire to some kapok life vests), though there were rumors of sabotage at the time.
According to the Australian videocassette sleeve notes, this was Sir Alfred Hitchcock's first movie with an all-American cast.
